Libby MT, rest day

The Woodland camp ground/RV park I'm staying at has wifi, so I stayed up till about 1:30am blogging last night (and here I am today at 11pm, still blogging away!), so I enjoyed sleeping in until about 10:30am. I had a leisurely granola and nuts breakfast in camp, paid for my two nights stay (a "spendy" $16! Life is good), and went to town in search of a quiet internet and phone combo, a post office (I finished CS Lewis's book called The Four Loves I'd borrowed from my mom in Canada and was eager to mail it home and lighten my load), the restaurant I plan to have breakfast at tomorrow, and a Mexican restaurant for dinner. I was successful on all counts, meeting some lovely people along the way. For the Internet connection and phone line, I luckily chanced upon the Huckleberry House Bed and Breakfast--the only B&B in town! And it's only a few blocks from the library and post office, so it's perfect! Ellen and Keith were very kind and invited me right in when I knocked. I ended my day after dinner back on their porch while they enjoyed a glass of wine and we shared stories about Keith's time in the military and the history of their beautiful 1917 home and some of their stories of past guests and my stories from the road. I'm looking forward to seeing them again tomorrow. If you're passing through Libby, look them up! Huckleberry House B&B.

I also met a group of 11 cyclists touring a west bound loop and we swapped stories for a bit. I also offered my massage therapy services and connected with one woman riding with her 70 year old dad who I supported with some shoulder and neck release. That was a lot of fun! I love being of service. I'm not sure what happened to my campground client, but we hadn't set a time and I got home rather late (9pm) so maybe he gave up on me. I was hoping he would materialize at the fire pit again this evening while I was blogging, but no luck. I love my work and I was grateful to be able to support a fellow cyclist at the restaurant. This gives me hope that I may be able to connect with a cycling group heading cross country another year that will choose to hire me as their massage therapist. :)

Tomorrow, I will pack up and head out by 8am so I have time for breakfast, another hour of library Internet watching bio-optic holography sessions to prepare for my own, my session itself, a 30 minute massage for the judge who I met this afternoon (he's vegan! Very helpful with restaurant recommendations), and back on the road towards Kalispell. It's supposed to be 97 tomorrow--the peak of the week's heat wave. At least I'm not climbing over the Going to the Sun road in glacier in this heat! Though I doubt it gets this hot up at 6650' elevation!
